It just another night for Kibi she just left a local sweet shop and picked up some yummy snacks! loliloliloilloi "Kibi got some sweets! Yummy! Yummy sweets!", she huhs looking up seeing something fall from the sky and crash into the ground. "What was that?", she gasps! "Someone is after Kibi's snacks! Kibi will stop the snack stealer!", she rushes towards the crash site. Gonfei, having walked from the north along the sidewalk, glances upward as he first hears the noise of the falling pod.... then starts running towards the impact as it's clear that whatever just came in didn't exactly make a controlled landing. "...At least we're close to a hospital," he says under his breath as he comes up upon the escape pod. "Another day in NeoTokyo." Xiaomu lets out a LOUD yelp as the pod crashes down about half a block behind her; by the time her feet hit the ground again, she's already spun to face it and has her staff ready in both hands, as if prepared to defend herself. "... Well, it doesn't look like one of the Freeza Corps.' pods," she remarks after getting a decent look. She heads thataway without further ado, adding loudly enough to be heard, "I don't think whoever that is came all this way just to steal your candy, Kibi!" The pod continues to sit stationary after it's crash. It impacted pretty hard but...possibly because of it's purpose of escape rather than prolonged flight, it hurt the ship FAR more than the ground. The very front of it may as well be tinfoil at this rate. It's smoking, but it's hard to tell how much of that has to do with what it went through TO arrive here, as opposed to it's now damaged state. Kibi looks at Xaiomu. "They could be here to steal my snacks! You don't know that for sure!", she look at the pod holding her bags of snacks tightly looking over the damaged pod. "..thought if Kibi is lucky they died on impact!" Gonfei takes in the escape pod, then takes one step towards it before he looks up again at the approaching Kibi and Xiaomu. "...Snacks? Kibi, I highly doubt they're..." He sighs and facepalms. "Maybe you should go hide the snacks then come back to throw them off the scent?" He then resumes his approach to the escape pod, looking over it to see if there's a window into it, opening hatches, whatever might be needed to investigate this crash further. Xiaomu sweatdrops at Kibi's first comment, and outright facepalms at the second. "Yeah, let's find out who was in there before hoping they died ..." She moves closer to the pod as well, tapping into her staff's elemental magic ... or rather, the elemental magic of the sword sheathed inside her staff ... and conjuring some chunks of ice to try and cool the pod down, maybe put out whatever's smoking for good measure. THe last thing anyone needs is to try to help the pod's occupant(s?) only to get killed by a fuel tank explosion. There are indeed both a window and a door hatch. looking into a window, the ship's pilot looks to at least be unconcious, and in some amount of wear, due to what looks like a deal of injuries. Due to thier slumped state it's hard to tell much else, but those injuries don't look quite fresh enough to be from the crash. There should be an easily found emergancy opening button for the hatch somewhere along the outside in Gonfei's checking around....and the smoking thankfully calms and becomes steam due to Xiaomu's thinking. One possible issue averted! Kibi get as bit closer still holding her bag close. "..The person inside looks alive.", she does have a bit of concern. Gonfei, seeing the unconscious man inside, reaches for the emergency opening button even before Xiaomu is finished cooling the thing down. As she cools down the wreckage, the off-duty bartender asks her, "Do you know healing spells as well, Xiaomu?" Kibi's concerned look is given a wary look from Gonfei in turn. Xiaomu shakes her head, "Nope. I'm DPS and occasional crowd control, not a healer. I could do some basic, layman's-level first aid but I haven't really got bandages or anything handy ... our best bet if the passenger's badly hurt is to get 'em to the hospital as fast as we can carry 'em. Kibi raies her hand. "Kibi could turn into a ambulance to help with that! Kibi get make those wheooo noise too!" Opening the hatch makes it more obvious that the pilot's in bad shape. He? It looks like a he alright, looks not just roughed up, but a littleoff in other ways...signs they've been not quite at the peak of health for a while. Possibly relately...or maybe not, one of their arms also looks like some sort of metalic replacement. Xiaomu hands her staff to Gonfei, then leans into the pod to give its passenger/pilot a once-over, checking for open wounds, broken bones, really obvious stuff. Gonfei nods grimly to Xiaomu, but then gives Kibi a strange look for all of a second before shrugging. It's Kibi. She's done stranger things. Gonfei takes the staff and then steps back to let Xiaomu do her first aid. He then looks back to Kibi again before saying, "Kibi, the hospital should be nearby here, go look for it and tell them directly that there's someone here that needs an ambulance!" For his part, he then pulls out a cell phone to make a call to the emergency number. Kibi peers over to Xiaomu shoulder. "He got a metallic arm.", she nods to Gofei. "Okay! Kibi is off!", and zoom, she gone like a bolt of lighting! Literally. Gonfei, having not hit send yet, looks at Kibi's exit and... pockets his phone again. "...I think she has that handled." There are plenty of wounds that look not quite FRESH, but still very recent and untreated. Assuming Xaimou stays hands off, the pilot stays still well enough to be looked over nicely. Kibi returns! "Okay! Kibi told them and said they are on there way!", she looks back the way she came. "There soo slow!!!" Xiaomu says, "They're bound by the laws of physics to an extent that some of us aren't ... I think this guy's stable enough for now, but the faster the ambulance gets here the happier I'll be." She steps back from the pod, motioning to Gonfei for her staff back. "I don't want to mess with him or try moving him ... just one guy, looks human apart from the prosthetic arm." She pauses, her nose wrinkling, then leans into the pod just long enough for a quick but deliberate sniff." Gonfei does a double take as Kibi is already back. He does readily hand the staff back to Xiaomu, then raises an eyebrow slightly at the sniff. "One replacement arm doesn't make someone not human, of course. And then, there's of course plenty of beings that look human without being human. Anything off on the smell?" Kibi says, "Who would want to be human anyway? They break so easily..", she pulls out one of her snacks munching on it. She really can't do much but make inappropriate comments..." Xiaomu steps back from the pod again, "Yeah, smells human as far as I can tell. And if my nose is anything to judge by his wounds aren't noticeably infected, but again, the faster he's in professional hands ..." She trails off, looking over the pod's exterior some more, her ears pricking up as she tries to detect the sound of approaching sirens. Presumably there'll be a siren. Given they're conveniently AT the hospital, the siren might not even be needed... In fact there is no siren as the people of medical employee hurry over with a stretcher and start making attempts to properly move the guy. However, things aren't going QUITE to plan. The first time someone actually TOUCHES him, he suddenly snaps awake, eyes looking wide and unfocused, before bolting AWAY from said hand. ...not so much a problem on it's OWN, but that's followed by his robot arm suddenly gaining something like an energy blade around it's hand. Kibi eeps! "That's not good!" Gonfei takes a few steps back as the paramedics arrive, then takes another quick step backwards as the energy blade forms. "Easy, Easy, buddy. It's a medical team, they're here to help you." Xiaomu reflexively jumps back about a pace and a half at the way the guy reacts when touched. "Take it easy!" she calls out. "These guys," she indicates the paramedics, "came to treat your wounds. The rest of us saw your pod land and called them to help. My name's Xiaomu, the little shrimp with the candy is named Kibi, and the other guy is Gonfei." She pauses briefly. "I know you've probably got a lot of questions about where you are, and we'll get to those. But for now, I swear to you that we mean you no harm, unless you have cause to harm us." Another brief pause, punctuated by a smirk as she adds, "And if you're actually part of an alien invasion fleet, you probably want to earn our trust and get your wounds treated before you go about invading ..." The blade flares a bit as the pilot's eyes narrow, but it proceeds to flicker as he ends up on one knee, loosing the energy or the will to put up an offensive for now. "...not invading...but hopefully not leading an invasion either," he murmurs, "The Galrans...haven't come yet?" Kibi munches on one of her snacks. "Kibi never heard of The Galrans." Xiaomu blinks. "Galra ... haven't heard that name in a decade or so, and before that - you mean the Galra Empire? Dai-Bazaal, slave colosseum, Deathblack Beastmen, and so forth?" Gonfei is about to simply say 'no' to the Galrans coming yet, but then Xiaomu spouts off her knowledge. With her knowing more about this man's world than he does, Gonfei crosses his arms and glances at the paramedics again. "Hey... you're a bit in a bad way, if you didn't notice? I really suggest you let the nice medical team take a good look at you to make sure you're gonna be all right." Shirogane furrows his brows at Gonfei's statement. He seems reluctant to do such a thing after what Xaiomu just asked, but he relents to the paramedics attempts to help him this time, all the same. "...some of that, yes..." Kibi says, "Then you can go back to beating up these Galrans!" Gonfei glances upward. "You can rest assure that our defense fleet... and likely some visiting ships as well, are going to provide at least a significant roadblock to these 'Galrans.' Welcome to NeoTokyo... we've got everything here." Xiaomu grins wryly, "Yeah, NeoTokyo's defenders would at least be able to stymie the Galran troops pretty effectively. Anything the size of a Deathblack Beastman .... well, there are some super robot pilots around too. The paramedics do what they can to keep from injuring Shirogane any worse before transfering him to the streacher. "I escaped from the arena...they still have my friends and many others held prisoner. I meant to go back to get others, but they were chasing too closely..." Gonfei glances at Xiaomu before looking abck to Shirogane again. "It... might be a bit difficult to get back to them, unfortunately." Kibi muches on her snacks as they put Shirogane is put on the strecher not much she can really do. Xiaomu says, "They'll probably turn up too ... We'll definitely keep our eyes open." She glances at the paramedics, "Should I tag along, or ... ?" The paramedics seem uncertain on things, but agree to have the others tag along if they want. It wouldn't do for this guy to flip out again, as much as he seems normal right now. And they start moving along with the streachers and so on. Shirogane frowns a little, but continues letting himself get drug off for medical care. "Let me know if they come before they're done with me," he insists. Gonfei pauses as he considers it. "Yeah, I'll keep an eye on him." He picks up his pace as he catches up along with the stretcher. "Probably... not definitely," he says, then attempts to bring in some levity. "I mean, the only person I really know that came through from my universe is my ex, so... you really never know." Kibi says, "Kibi is the only on here from her world!", she say somehow smiling! Really smiling. HARD." Xiaomu shrugs, she's the only one from her world either. "Yeah, we'll keep our eyes open," she repeats, keeping pace with the stretcher as well. At least for now. "I'm sure you'll be back on your feet soon, though!" The pilot is seen to and patched up over a short while. He's eventually put in bed after being bandaged up, expected to stay long enough to get some better nutrition into his system. "...you said this is Neo Tokyo? ...there's a new Tokyo?" Kibi says, "There was an old one??" Gonfei opens his mouth to answer the questions, then stops and frowns. He does then respond with, "You know, I don't know the story behind why it's Neo Tokyo and not just... Tokyo still." Xiaomu says, "That, I can explain a little bit ... basically? This city is pretty much where 'old' Tokyo was, and the old city didn't so much get destroyed as ... modified. You can still find a lot of the old landmarks, but things got moved around - and a lot of the city is pretty much out of different anime that were really popular back when things went balls-up." Shirogane seems even more baffled at Xiaomu's response. "They replaced parts of Tokyo with anime? Did technology really go that far while I was in space?" Surely this can't be HIS Tokyo? He just knocked his head too hard somewhere along the way, right? Kibi says, "..and other stuff. Kibi really doesn't understand it too well." Gonfei frowns at Shirogane and shakes his head. "No... I don't think you're getting it... this wasn't ever your Tokyo. It's some sort of.... vacuum dimension, pulling in people from elsewhere and plopping them down here. It's not something that someone is doing, it just... happens, and you're, for better or worse, its latest catch." Xiaomu ehehehs, "That's the other thing, yeah." She pauses while Gonfei offers his explanation, then chimes back in with, "What Kibi and Gonfei were saying about us coming from different worlds? Odds are that so did you, whatever your world is. That's how I recognized the Galra, they're from this old anime called Beast King GoLion. Shirogane, though ... the Shirogane in that series didn't look much like you do." Shirogane raises a brow. "That's right, you did say something about different worlds. I came from Earth, so things like talking about Tokyo threw me off. ...sorry that I'm a bit off my game. ...I have no idea what Beast King GoLion is.." Gonfei glances up at a clock and frowns. "I... hate to cut and run, but... Well, I've got a work shift coming up at the Usual in about an hour, so I've got to go get ready for that." | |
